David Prutton blown away by Raphinha in Brazil
David Prutton has been left blown away by Leeds United star Raphinha this week while away with Brazil on international duty.
The Whites winger came off the bench against Venezuela for his debut this week and delivered two assists to inspire a big victory.
Tite used Raphinha off the bench again last night in Colombia, with Prutton starstruck by some of the video clips emerging of his skill.
Writing for the Yorkshire Evening Post, Prutton has been left blown away by the video clips emerging of our Brazilian superstar.
“The little clips that you see on social media of his nutmegs and tricks and his ability with the football is football at its most pure,” he wrote.
“It is a wonderful thing to see, a joy to see. When it comes to the debate of talking about truly great players for a particular football club, everyone has got their opinion and people that they lean towards.
“But right now he is as exciting a player that I can remember in recent years wearing the Leeds shirt, definitely.”
Wow.
Some of the clips emerging on social media are simply outrageous and prove that Raphinha more than deserves to be at that level.
Marcelo Bielsa will be as proud as punch yet again to deliver another international star to his country from this current crop at Thorp Arch.
Raphinha is head and shoulders above most of what we have at Leeds, and it is still a pleasure to watch him every single week in the Premier League.
Being able to hand the winger the spotlight to go on and prove himself for one of the world’s most successful national sides is just another sign that the Whites are building in the right direction.
Hopefully, this doesn’t bring too much attention to his name ahead of the January window or we could be facing some serious interest.
